Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Mood swing are due to chemotherapy. I would improve with time. Nothing to worry about it. Just carry on with antidepressant you are on and wait for chemotherapy to be stopped. With time, you would get your normal mood. It is just side effect of temoxifen, so just relax.

Thanks
